Will Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown finish their NBA careers with the Boston Celtics?
Will Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown finish their NBA careers with the Boston Celtics? Will Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown finish their NBA careers with the Boston Celtics? Not all that long ago, it would have been seen as blasphemy by the Celtics faithful to suggest that either of Boston's two star forwards might end up on another team after winning a title together in 2024. But even then, the collective bargaining agreement (CBA)'s second apron restrictions already hinted that such an outcome might be coming down the pike. Now, with Tatum likely out for much if not all of next season and Brown dealing with a serious injury of his own, a lot of questions hang over the Celtics' future given their historically large payroll and tax bill. Given all that we have learned about the current cap landscape of the league, is it realistic for one of them (never mind both) to retire having only played for Boston? The hosts of the CLNS Media "Celtics Beat" podcast, Adam Kaufman and Evan Valenti, linked up with the Boston Globe's Gary Washburn to talk it over. Take a look at the clip embedded below to hear what they had to say!

Was the Boston Celtics early exit the fault of coach Joe Mazzulla?
Was the Boston Celtics early exit the fault of coach Joe Mazzulla? Was the Boston Celtics early exit the fault of coach Joe Mazzulla? The Celtics saw their season end in Game 6 of their 2025 NBA Eastern Conference Semifinals second round series against the New York Knicks due to the Knicks being better than expected on both ends of the court compared to the 2024-25 NBA regular season as much as it was caused by a pileup of injuries to Boston's roster. But one can also point to some questionable game management issues that stem from the choices made by Mazzulla as a decent part of why the Celtics were bounced in the second round of the 2025 postseason as well. Were the mistakes made by the Boston coach egregious enough to blame him for the series loss? The hosts of the CLNS Media "Celtics Beat" podcast, Adam Kaufman and Evan Valenti, took some time on a recent episode of their show to talk it over. Check it out below!

Will the Boston Celtics have it easy vs. the New York Knicks?
The Boston Celtics will begin their Eastern Conference Semifinals match-up against the New York Knicks on Monday, May 5. New York is coming off a seven-game slobberknocker against the Detroit Pistons. The Celtics, on the other hand, have enjoyed a significant period of rest, having defeated the Orlando Magic in five games. Boston will undoubtedly feel confident about their upcoming series. During the regular season, Joe Mazzulla's team secured a sweep of its games against the Knicks. Not only did Boston win every meeting, but it dominated on both sides of the ball. As such, Tom Thibodeau's team must prove it's capable of going toe-to-toe with the reigning champions. Advertisement During a recent episode of the "Celtics Beat" podcast, hosts Adam Kaufman and Evan Valenti were joined by Brian Barrett of The Ringer. The trio discussed the upcoming series between Boston and New York, before claiming that the Knicks will be an easier opponent than the Magic, who left the Celtics battered and bruised after a physical series.
